You’ve probably encountered this before — you have a circuit board that is poorly documented, and want to know the part number of a tiny SMD chip. Retro computer enthusiast [JohnK] recently ...

A semiconductor diode is a non-linear device whose most outstanding feature is the fact that, basically, current is only allowed to flow in one direction. The diode is built by joining together two ...

I could have had this keyboard done so much sooner if I had just calmly set aside the SMD diodes that came with my components kit and used through-hole from the start. But no, I had to try ...

A SMT diode array is a surface mount diode array that is used to connect passive components to other SMT-compatible components, such as connectors to SIP substrates. A diode array detector is a ...

The four-layer diode was the key to William Shockley's plan to revolutionize AT&T's phone system. It was a great device in theory, but not in practice -- at least not at the time when Shockley ...

Rohm Semiconductor has announced new surface mount SiC Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) that improve insulation resistance by ...

One team of professionals providing space, missile defense, and high altitude forces and capabilities to support joint warfighting readiness in all domains. Against all adversaries and enemies ...

Series troubleshooting: Bypass diodes fail regularly, either because they do not have a high enough power rating or because they are overloaded due to nearby lightning strikes. With the following ...

Schafer Field in a Division 8 pre-district. The Aggies improve to 8-2 on the season and advance to take on Maple City Glen Lake next weekend in a D8 district final on the road. Maple City Glen ...

Rohm Semiconductor's surface-mount SiC Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) improve insulation resistance by increasing the creepage distance between terminals.

Boards can be made faster because surface mount technology (SMT) eliminates drilling holes for thru-hole devices, in which the pins go through the board and are soldered underneath. THIS ...

You will learn about semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers, and the important rules for their analysis, planning, design, and implementation. You will also apply your knowledge through ...
